Parisian Fruit Tarts – The Modern Baker: Time-Saving Techniques for Breads, Tarts, Pies, Cakes, and Cookies (Nick Malgieri)
1. Buy awesome cookbook from your friend who works at awesome local bookstore.
2. Exchange approving nods & fist-bumps while you pay for the book, in acknowledgement and celebration of mutual love for baking.
3. Wait until your friend quits her job at the bookstore to work down the street in the local delightful florist/home accent/gourmet food/awesome stuff store.
4. Realize you need individual tart pans in order to do the recipe justice.
5. Text your friend to see if they have tart pans in stock at aforementioend awesome-stuff-store.
6. Show up at the store to buy aforementioned tart pans when your friend is not working. Press her mother (store owner) and co-workers into helping you find the pans after they’ve rearranged the whole store and forgotten where they are.
7. Frantically text your friend that nobody in the store knows where the tart pans are. HALP!
8. Find the tart pans beside you on a table that you’ve looked at four times already.
9. Text your friend too late that it’s ok, we found them. Observe her grumpily sleepwalking into the store from the back door.
10. Successfully make the tarts! HURRAY!
11. Post this picture to facebook, asking your friend if she’d like one, because they were not a failure!
12. Forget to provide your friend with one for several days.
13. Open the container to put the last one in a package to give to your friend, as promised. Discover that it is covered in blue mould.
14. Slide the tart into the garbage, never speaking of the tarts or the tart pans again.
